I'm having trouble changing the machine name programmatically on Samba 4 (running under systemd). There's no "netbios name" option in smb.conf, so I'm relying on it using the hostname. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Call sethostname() with the new name. 2) Write the same name into /etc/hostname, to make it nonvolatile. 3) Read a decimal number from /var/run/smbd.pid.

I'm using the Yocto Project to build an embedded distro, to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 from OpenEmbedded. Doing so increases my root file system from about 63MB to 175MB. I seem to be building a large Samba server with a small ancillary operating system tacked onto it. I listed the files in my file system image, and see that lots of the commands are quite large. I understand that Samba 4

This is an embedded system without a lot of high-level utilities like you get on Ubuntu. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco at ix.netcom.com

I know how to do it through systemctl, but I was

For a long time, I've had a share set up on my Samba server (Ubuntu 14.04) that gives me read/write access to /. (It's a machine that does Yocto Linux builds, nothing proprietary on it.) I routinely accessed it from a couple of Win7 boxes and one Mac. A few days ago, I installed some Ubuntu updates, and suddenly the share stopped working. I could open the machine, and I could open the

I have an embedded box (Yocto Project based linux distro) to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 (from OpenEmbedded). All I need it for is to provide one browsable file share that allows read/write access to anyone on the network. But I want it to be password protected. My best guess as to what goes into smb.conf is: [global] workgroup=WORKGROUP netbios name=MACHINE security=share

I'm working on a couple of Yocto Project based embedded projects, one using a Gumstix Overo board and the other using an Intel Atom motherboard. Both need a simple Samba server, which isn't included in the standard build. The only existing Yocto-compatible recipe for Samba is an OpenEmbedded one for version 3.6.8. I was quite surprised to find that adding Samba almost tripled the size of

I have a Windows home network with a bunch of Windows boxes and two Ubuntu boxes. Everything can access shares on everything else, with one exception: no one can get to the one share on the second Ubuntu box which I just added to the system. All my machines have one user account (admin privileges in Windows) with the name "pauld" and the same password. In an effort to solve this problem

I've got an embedded x86 system built with Yocto, which boots from a USB flash drive. It uses a loop mount to give access to an ext3 root file system contained within a FAT16 file, which means it has persistent storage. What I want is something that boots from the flash drive, but copies everything into a large RAM disk, and runs from there, so that it doesn't touch the flash drive once

Systemd service files are generally coming with packages. This means these files can be overwritten by some system update if this updates also your Samba packages (note: I never had nor tested that behaviour with Samba packages, but it happens for other packages). 2016-02-23 8:39 GMT+01:00 L.P.H. van Belle <belle at bazuin.nl>: > Uh... just add : > > netbios name = PC_NAME >

The docs say that sending SIGHUP to smbd triggers an immediate reread of the configuration. There's generally more than one instance of smbd running, though. Can I send the signal to any one, or is there one in particular that handles it, or must I send it to all of them? More to the point, my embedded system stores a single process ID in /var/run/smbd.pid; will signalling that reliable

I've added Samba 3.6.8 to my Gumstix build, and I'd like to include a single Samba user and password as part of the initial image. Can I do that by manually adding the user to the TDB database, and then copying the resulting file into my build machine and including it in the build? If so, where is that file normally? (The few locations I've found mentions of via Google didn't have

Hi Nagendra here I have existing a samba-3 installation which has a smb encrypt as mandatory i.e : smb encrypt* =* mandatory I am trying to connect to this machine's share with windows & I am getting the following error on the windows 8 client System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. But I use the same client machine to access another windows-8 machine with SMB encryption I am

We have a project about Microsoft Hyper-V by using our storage. We want to use Samba to share our storage to Hyper-V. And we know from Microsoft homepage hyper-v(windows 2012) only support smb3.0 protocol, but right now the newest version of Samba don?t? fully support SMB3.0 protocol. I tried the version of Samba4.0.6, Samba3.6.9, but both failed to create virtual hosts using Hyper-V.

Hi, I sent you an email but now when I read it again, it looks like there were some mistakes in it... Please ignore that and address only the following message: Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I really couldn't find it anywhere on the web and if you could only provide me with a quick hint, it would be really helpful! I'm experiencing the following problem

** Low Priority ** Hi Volker, This is regarding your fix on recycled PIDs. I am an NCP developer from Novell and we use libsmbsharemodes library from Samba for Cross Protocols Locks between NCP, Samba and others. I have few queries regarding your fix. In your fix, you have added a new field called 'unique_id' in the server_id structure and we need to pass this in our call to samba

Hello, maybe there is someone they can help and answer a question why i get these network screen on my ctdb clusters. I have two ctdb clusters. One physical and one in a vmware enviroment. So when i transfer any files (copy) in a samba share so i get such network curves with performance breaks. I dont see that the transfer will stop but why is that so? can i change anything or does anybody know

Hai, maybe it's a bit early to ask, but is there a date when 3.2.2 wil be released. thanx. Louis

I am trying to set up a caching link between two points, that can be shared with windows and *nix. In both locations, I have linux-based servers with data, which have caching NFS mounts (that is, mount -t nfs -o fsc, with cachefilesd). These mounts are working correctly and I have tested the cache locally to much success. What I have not been able to get working is sharing those mounts with

I'm running a PDC on Samba 3.60. Just freshly upgraded it from Samba 3.028a with the purpose of supporting Windows 7. However though all the existing users and computers are running fine, I'm stumped trying to join a new Windows 7 machine to it. I have applied the DomainCompatibility registry fix. When I try to join a Windows 7 workstation I will get this message : The join operation
